Release Your Creativity With Abstract Watercolor Painting

By Eliza Mendoza


Art is a very subjective thing and different styles appeal to different people. One thing that seems to be universal, however, is that embracing art either as a collector or as a painter is a wonderful way of getting in touch with yourself and your deepest desires and dreams. Abstract watercolor painting is a very fluid and expressive style that many people adore.

Working with watercolors is a very satisfying experience. To begin with it can seem so simple and it really is one of the most satisfying mediums to work with. However, the true talent only appears after years of practice as the individual needs to get to grips with his or her own style, ability and the natural way that the paint flows.

Many people who start out using these materials find that landscapes are the easiest subject to master first. The watery paint lends itself perfectly to rolling hills, luxurious sea views and the multiple colors of flowers and various different landscapes. If you make a mistake it is barely noticeable and abstract art is more of a matter of personal expression than of covering up mistakes.

Drawing and painting animals is often a very effective method of becoming a truly talented artist and this is still true with watercolors. You can work from photos or other paintings or from the real thing, but it is often easier to focus on the lines of the animal and the manner in which it moves rather than the details of the fur. This is because water colors don't always lend themselves to the finer details.

The portrait is where the water color artist really comes into his or her own. Playing with colors and the contours of the face is one way to really get to know a person's look and the individual's style will naturally come out in this type of piece. However, practice is essential. At first it can look a little childlike but with time the paint strokes will become more professional and expressive.

Abstract art is often misunderstood by people looking at it without opening up their minds to the possible meaning behind it. It is a very personal style of painting, but it can have multiple meanings, depending on how the individual looks at it. A good abstract artist will understand this and use their experience of the medium to convey their ideals in a way that many people can connect with.

Ultimately a good painting will mean something different to every person who studies it. Everyone brings their own experiences to a painting, whether they are observing, collecting or painting it and abstract painting truly embraces this. By learning the basic rules and styles of watercolor, the talented artist can learn to bend these rules to conform with their personal needs and visions.

Abstract watercolor painting can be anything from a part time hobby to a very satisfying and successful career. It is important to put the heart and soul into each piece, to ensure that it is filled with emotion and meaning as this will always be interpreted by art appreciators. Those pieces that are superficial are always obvious and few people can connect with them.
